[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 1642295, member: 106845"] You’re not alone. I work the same hours. I have three young kids as well, and my life is extremely busy. I rarely get to spend time at my bench anymore, let alone go shooting or hunting. I’m grateful I spent the time before I had kids doing all this testing and experimenting. I’ve said it more than once already in this thread, do what ultimately works for you. If you apply a crimp and it gives you the results you desire and are satisfied with, great. If you’re able to take great care of your ammo to ensure things don’t get compromised or bumped out of round, that’s great too. Applying a crimp may indeed be an inferior method compared to going through the work of annealing and doing a two-step sizing process using a mandrel, especially if you add neck turning to that process, but it doesn’t mean your own results will be inferior. If you’re satisfied with 4” at 500 yards, then keep on doing what you’re doing. I for one am not going to put down anyone’s methods or tell them what they need to do. I’ll offer my advice, suggestions, and experience when asked and I’ll back it up with why I believe in it. That’s it though. Take it or leave it. Believe it yourself, or not. I’m not trying to get elected as some sort of reloading official or expert in this forum. I have nothing to prove of myself or need to try to convince anyone otherwise if they don’t believe me. I despise internet arguments. The end. [/QUOTE]
